THE SMALLPOX INVASION.
Its Progress in Los Angeles County
Steps Taken to Suppress 1t.

Its Progress in Los Angeles County
Steps Taken to Suppress 1t.
DR.. G. G. Tyrrell, Secretary of the State
Board of Health, returned yesterday from
the lower portion of the State, to which he
and other members of the Board went re-
Gently to inquireinto the real facts as to the
extent to which the smallpox had extended
there. 1t was ascertained that there had
been 45 cases and deaths at Los Angeles,
up to Saturday forenoon; South Pasadena,
7 cases and l death; Downey, cases:
Florence, L. Ravenna, l; Carothers, i;
Green Meadows, 1-all in Los Angeles
county. AT Ontario, San Bernardino county,
there have been two cases. The disease is
not as bad now as it has been, but still it
is serious and needs careful watching The
local authorities, acting on the advice of the
State Board, divided Los Angeles into six
districts, appointing vaccinator for each,
and the probabilities are that the disease
will in time be suppressed; but there is
danger as long as there are any unvacei-
mated people One case was reported the
day the doctor left there. Probably there
are concealed cases, of which no re-
port has been given, and the spread
ing of the disease is largely attributable
to this fact. The railroad company has
co-operated heartily with the members of
the Board of Health in their efforts to con-
troll the disease. The Board appointed
two inspectors at Cotton, one of whom will
be in charge of trains running to Barstow,
while the other will go to Indio. There was
also an inspector appointed al San Pedro,
and one each at San Diego and Mohave,
and there will probably be one at Tulare.
At the instance of the Board Surgeon Gen
eral J. B. Hamilton, of the U. S. Marine
Hospital Service, has appointed officers to
act as inspectors at Yuma, Nogales, Ben
son and Albuquerque. The members of
the Board feel that they have done all that
is possible to project the State from the
threatened pestilence, and, though the dis
ease still prevails in the neighborhood in
which it originated, it will probably, I'M
der the energetic measures now being
taken, soon cease. While the State Boards
visit was not received exactly in good part
by many of the Los Angeles people and
officials, as well as portion of the press,
the Mayor and some others treated the
visiting physicians with great kindness
and consideration.

Story, the eminent commentator, declares

Story, the eminent commentator, declares
that:
The rule is justified By the general sense and
practice of mankind. and recognized in the law
OF nations that il is inherent IN the nature OF
SOVEREIGNTY not to be amenable to the suit OF
any private person without its own consent.
The inconvenience of subjecting the
Government to perpetual suits, as matter OF
right at the Will OF any citizen, for any real or
supposed claim or grievance, was deemed far
greater than any positive injury that could be
sustained by any citizen by DELAY or refusal OF
would be the interest or inclination of wise
Government to withhold justice from any
citizen.
That the proposition to freely permit
the State to be sued should have been adj
vanced in the Legislature is frank con-
fesslon of ignorance of the science Of gov
eminent, and almost amounts to idiocy.
When Legislators declared, as many did,
we know of no reason why the State
should not be put upon the same footing
in the Courts as are individuals" they
made such confession of ignorance. They
made more, a humiliating confession of
want of conscience, for the expression i'm
plies lack of due sense Of the reason for
the existence. of the State, and low con-
ception of the purposes of government.
The thief looks upon the possessions of
another as removed from him only by the
danger of being found out in his pilfering !;
the entertainment of the sentiment that
the State is an object to be plundered, if
only the judgment of Court can be Sc
cured to fortify the act, is instinct with the
promptings of thievery, though it may be
that many men have honestly advocated
the proposed law who did not look deeply
enough into the question to discover this
element in it. For these reasons every bill
passed permitting citizen to sue the
State, constitutes a bad precedent, and
hence we have said that the Legislature
ought to be stripped of even the power of
consent Let it be the one and only
tribunal before which claims against the
people in their aggregate capacity can be
presented and advocated If it is replied
that legislative sessions are so hurried and
crowded that just claims are not examined
fairly, then let us have law such as was
proposed, providing that claims shall be
filed, and the proofs all taken, from thirty
to sixty days before the Legislature as
sembles, and that upon these the Controller
and Attorney-General shall report to the
Governor, who shall submit the opinions
and affirmative proofs to the Legislature,
and all difficulty possible to conceive of
will be avoided.

SOME of our contemporaries misunder-
stand our objection to the word 'boom" as
applied to the development of California.
One declares that there is in the "diction-
airy" no warrant, nor in usage, for such
definition as We give it," an extravagant,
abnormal, sudden and not enduring ad-
vance" Probably not in any dictionary !;
yet all the definitions imply that meaning
when reference is had to the rush to a
new country. For the matter of that, a
close half column might be filled with
accepted words mot in the dictionary
The crush of 1850 to California was
BOOM so was that to Frazer river in 1859,
to Australian 1861 to Nevada in 1902,
to Kansas in 1866, and so on through
long list. In none of these or similar cases
was there any such developing process as
is now going on in California, and which
the people are so DESTROYS of promoting.

natural processes and as the result of the

CONVICT LABOR
BY THE BOARD OF
PRISON DIRECTORS.
In the Future it is not to Come in
Competition with Free Labor
Warden Reports-Etc.

The State Board of Prison Directors met
at the Folsom Branch Prison, at s P. NJ.
Saturday. Present, Directors Boggs. Sonn-
tag, Hendricks, Devlin and Wilkins. The
minutes of the last meeting were read and
approved. A large number of bills were
audited and ordered paid. The payroll
for February was also allowed, which
amounted TO $2,99S 05. The Wardens of
the Prison and the resident physicians
were authorized to procure virus and vac
cinate the prisoners.
After the transaction of considerable
unimportant routine business, Director
the preceding meeting which was read by
the Secretary as follows:
I" 1t is hereby ordered that the manufact-
ure of doors, sash and blinds, and such
other articles as are now made in connec-
ton Herewith at the San Quentin Prison,
be discontinued on the LIST day of July,
1887, and thereafter, and the Warden is
hereby directed to put this order into
execution. and notify all parties in interest
of the same. and require them to remove
from the prison grounds and buildings all
machinery and material owned by them
and not belonging to the State.
1T is hereby further ordered that the
manufacture of furniture be discontinued,
and the material and furniture on hand,
and not required for the prison, be sold to
the best advantage to the State, and the
proceeds paid into the State Treasury to the
credit of the prison fund, provided that all
furniture in process of manufacture shall
first be finished before being ordered for
sale
at is further ordered that the sale of
granite at the Folsom Prison be discon-
tinued-to the State and for the Mare Island
Navy Yard, under the present contract, ex-
cepted-and no goods or articles of any
kind, except jute goods, shall be manufact-
ured at either the Folsom or San Quentin
prisons, for the purpose of offering the
same for SALE"
Director Hendricks said he had prepared
substitute for Mr.. Sonntag's resolutions,
and asked the Chairman if its submission
at that time would be in order.
Director Devlin, who occupied the chair,
said the substitute was in order but as the
Wardensof the two prisons had been request
ed to give an opinion upon the subject of con-
vict labor, touching their respective prisons,
and as those communications were now in
the hands of the Secretary, he thought it
advisable to read them for the information
of the Board before further considering the
subject.
There being no objection the Secretary
took up and read the following

Cure of spInaI Weakness.

YATES, ORLEANS Co., N. Y, March 2S, 1886.
My wife, five years ago, was confined to
her bed with infammatory rheumatism of
the muscles of the back. The doctors
thought her case hopeless, and doomed her
to be bedridden invalid. The violent
PAIN kept her awake almost every night.
She lost over thirty pounds in weight. To
ease her pain l thought l would put on
Allcock's Porous Plasters. l covered her
back with them. To my great delight she
began to sleep well. The pain very much
abated in one week. 1 then took the plas-
tiers of, washed her back and put on fresh
ones. At the end of the second week she
insisted on getting up, and by the third
week was entirely well and able to attend
to her household duties.
